Poland's Health Ministry has issued instructions to doctors confirming that it is legal to end a pregnancy when the woman's health or life is in danger.
Protestors gather outside Poland's Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw, Poland, on Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021, to protest against the restrictive abortion laws after a woman died of complications during her pregnancy. The protesters held portraits of the woman, 30-year-old Iza, who died in hospital from septic shock. Her family and a lawyer say her doctors did not terminate the pregnancy despite the fact that her fetus lacked enough amniotic fluid to survive.
The document addressed to obstetricians comes in reaction to the hospital death of a 30-year-old mother whose 22-week pregnancy had medical problems. The woman died in September but her death became widely known this month. Doctors at the hospital in Pszczyna, in southern Poland, held off terminating her pregnancy despite the fact that her fetus lacked enough amniotic fluid to survive, her family and a lawyer say.
The ministry stressed it is in line with the law to terminate a pregnancy when the woman’s health is in danger, even more so in case of threat to her life. It included guidance in case of premature loss of the amniotic fluid.
